Language is a very important tool. with the right words used, coupled with the appropriate sentence structure, we can make a harsh comment with little or even no hurt involved and yet get our point across. or from the opposite view, a simple comment can turn into a quarrel if the wrong words were used. So when we improve on our language, it shouldn't just be about improving our self-image, but i feel that there's a greater purpose. For others. For christians especially, this is even more important. cox it's when we've honed this skill of language that God can use us to change people's lives through our words. God can't use someone whose words are merely for getting the job done, because if the person is just saying it because he has to, there will be no love in whatever he says. too often, our words are just about OURSELVES, about how WE can feel good, how WE can feel in charge. and we dont even know that it's these things that brings hurt to others. But then again, we're all imperfect. So it's normal to fail once in a while as long as we try. But are we even trying?
Right intention + wrong words/wrong method = misunderstanding
